Losing Weight with Starscream

I've been on a plateau for several weeks and i haven't given up, so i don't know why you're giving up after only a few weeks. I stalled after 1 week, then started again - start-stop-start-stop. I don't know why you say "no way i can hit a plateau yet" - everyone is different, some people hit one sooner, some people later - the difference is those who stick to it always get over it. Also you can google "atkins plateau breakers" and find all kinds of methods people use to overcome them.

I shouldn't be hitting a plateau while on induction on weeks 2&3. It's one thing if I had been on longer and lost half of the 60 lbs I want to lose, but I'm just not going to keep wasting my time eliminating all of the carbs and make no progress doing it.

Plenty of people stall on weeks 2 and 3, and i've read at least a dozen cases of it happening. You refer to it as "wasting" your "time" - you've already got a defeatist attitude, and the hardest part about this is the mental, so whatever, nothing i can say.

p.s. - have you bothered taking measurements? Sometimes inches come off and lbs don't. Dr atkins didn't even consider it a plateau unless it was over 4 consecutive weeks.

Yup- no loss this week. Boy, the body is pretty unforgiving when it comes to weight loss!
